Mean (SD) (range) of the change in the central endothelial cell density (ECD) (expressed as a percentage of the preoperative ECD)
| Overall (n=46) | Non-diabetic (n=29) | Diabetic (n=17) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 months postoperatively | 84 (17) (36–113) | 86 (17) (36–113) p=0.334 | 81 (18) (42–111) |
| 12 months postoperatively | 80 (19) (33–108) | 82 (20) (33–108) p=0.327 | 75 (17) (43–108) |
p = Student’s t test statistic of non-diabetic v diabetic endothelial cell losses.
